Federal Terminal Ascent Reviews?

[General RE LEE]

My 6.5 Creedmoor loves the new Federal Terminal Ascent 130 grain. Anyone field tested this factory ammo yet? It is supposed to expand at lower speeds but a guy did some low speed testing and found it didn't expand much at all at 1600 FPS.

I'm interested also, but in the 200 gr .308. Think that would be a killer bullet In the 300 RUM

moose down this Sept with the 175 gr 30 cal Terminal Ascent in 300 RUM, hit square in shoulder at 100 yards, full penetration and bullet caught in hide on the other side, instant death with no steps taken, recovered bullet looks perfect

Worked great for me! Love the bullet and my 7mag shoots it well

My wife shot a red hind with my 6.5 SAUM at 185'ish yards and it dropped on the spot with a full pass through. Quarter size exit hole.

I worked up a load with 155gr for my 7mag.(RL26)
Very accurate and 100 fps faster than the factory load!
Have not been able to test on game yet

Shot a Prong Horn with the 136gr in a 270 win last August. 256 yards animal didn't move an inch. Will be using the
200gr WinMag on Moose and Bear i Newfoundland in September. So far they have been very accurate and consistent in every rifle I have put them in.

From what I seen from gel test on U-tube they need a little faster than what they clamed but that is gel. I think the best expanding bullet at low velocity that holds together well is the ABLR but they tend to be harder to get them to shoot in really small groups and finding them well that also is a challenge also at times.
